ABSTRACT:
An electronic overload relay has an intrinsic power supply connected in parallel with the NC contact of the relay between wire attachment terminals. The power supply is a parallel connected zener diode and capacitor, connected to the processor in parallel with a low voltage sensing circuit that detects the charge on the capacitor, whereby the processor operates to turn on a unijunction transistor for low voltage coil applications to shunt the power supply during contactor closing and turn off a predetermined interval later by which time the contactor should have closed.
